I'm with a great carrier. They pay on time, every time and they keep me busy. That's about all I ask for. Their not big on being involved in the forums so I'll not mention their name. I could complain that any communication seems to be rushed a little more than I would like. It may be in my...

I'm thinkin I'm gonna put a chest type freezer in it and see if I can sign on to FDXCC as a BR unit? :)

I certainly hope they do sit lower than the factory seat. That was the one thing I didn't like about the Ultramax I drove and this one has to be the same. I was able to get comfortable, but would prefer lower. I also want at least one armrest, so the factory seat is definitely leaving. I'll wait...

Kinda nervous about it. I'm just hoping the extra capacity will keep it moving. The ST has been good to me, but I want a change. I've been hit 3 times in less than a year in the truck stops. The same front fender twice and the last time they got the back corner of the box. Anybody need a...

Has anyone tried an electric fan kit? I searched for it but didn't find anything. I had a buddy that did this to Toyota p/u he had. He claimed some mpg improvement, but I don't remember how much. I think he had to manually turn his fan on and off with a toggle switch, but I'm sure you could...

I saw this in an old thread, thought I would ask about it in a new thread. Can someone explain what all is involved? What would it take to do a standard GM van?

This will probably be on the short list as well...or something similiar: Sterlerling Van Captain Chair Seat Ford Chevy Dodge | eBay

Thanks Dennis! Yep, I'll probably change the gears out first thing. I'm going to take some time to get it set up the way I want it. I've never done a van before, but I've got an idea of how I want the cargo/sleeper area to be...and keep the full length available for freight. I've got a buddy...

This one will be at my house next week. Made a deposit on it this morning. Thanks for the tip Tumbleweeds!

Will toys keep a ST driver happy? Depends.....male or female?

I had some time to kill so I drove to Mt Juliet and looked at the UltraMax units. I have to say that I was impressed overall. I liked the looks of it and it is huge inside. This thing could haul a good percentage of the ST loads I carry. I spoke with Tom Meeks and he did a great job of showing...

About right probably. The northern half of the state is about out of the woods as far as water. It's clean up time up here now. But all of that water is headed for the Mississippi + all of the water coming from the St. Louis area. I think this will be in the news for a while yet....all the way...

Hwy 67 is currently closed about 20 miles south of the MO border (Pocahontas, AR... my home). You have to detour about 30 miles around it. I think it will re-open over the weekend sometime if there isn't any road damage. Anywhere in eastern AR is gonna be a gamble over the next week or so as...

I actually haven't seen any reports on this, but I can tell you that this will not likely go away by tomorrow. I live in northern AR and all I can tell you is there is A LOT of water headed south. You will definitely want to have an alternate route planned.

I found this site earlier. It might be of interest to others. The location, of course, is my hometown but you can easily look up other locations. Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service: Little Rock: Black River at Pocahontas

And now the flooding. The floods are close to record levels now and more to come. This could get really, really bad. Glad I live on a hill....just hope it's tall enough?

I can almost guarantee you that this statement won't come true. It would depend on what you call a great deal of money I guess and what kind of gig you have lined up.

If your going to go straight into owning a van, I would suggest something you can pay cash for, as others have. You need to be stable financially to be able to get through the slow times, the mistakes that your sure to make and cover any major repair bills that you might see. Don't think buying...

Thanks to CharlesD and Jelliot for chiming in. It's a benefit to all that we have input from people in every level of the industry.
